Biography
Meddur Rehman was born in Algeria to a Sunni Muslim Berber family, and he was involved in the Algerian independence struggle against France during the early 1950s. Rehman was arrested by the French authorities for his involvement with the FLN revolutionaries, and he was sentenced to death for his killing of French Army soldiers. On his execution day in 1954, he shouted "Allahu akbar" and "Long live Algeria", inspiring the recently-arrested Ali La Pointe, who had been arrested for street gambling. Rehman was sent to the guillotine, and he was beheaded by the French.
